- Look, ma, no speed limit! It's not just how fast you go, but how funny, in two revved-up comedies about cross-country road races. Michael Sarrazin, Gary Busey and Raul Julia are rival drivers in The Gumball Rally (Side A), the trend-setting coast-to-coast spectacle "with genuinely funny characters, great cars, and loads of cartoon-like action" (Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide).

Movie Reviews of The Gumball Rally / Cannonball Run II
Movie Review: A Winner!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to finally see The Gumball Rally, having already seen the lackluster Cannonball Run II, but the two combined for this price is quite a deal.
Cannonball 2 is worth watching for the huge starring cast and for the cars but in my opinion falls behind The Cannonball Run (1) and Speed Zone, the other two light hearted comedy films of this genre.
Gumball however, is simply the best. Sure, it doesn't have Burt Reynolds and the rest but as a car movie it comes out in first.
Gumball captures the spirit and the essence of driving, and if you are a real car enhusiast, you know what I mean. If not, you'll likely still laugh at the funny characters.
The actors did quite well, portraying memorable characters, and it's cool to see those cars (some of which are ridiculously valuable now) running like that.
It's a great cast running high speed, driving classic American Muscle and Foreign Exotics, with tops down and hair blowing all the way to the finish.
Don't judge it by it's rather lame cover. This is a real car show with REAL fast driving, not sped up cheese. Great Camera angles, great sounds, and a great experience. Admittedly none of these rather simple types of movies qualify as a truly GREAT movie, but Gumball is the best of it's kind and a genuinely enjoyable and funny film. A simple pleasure!
Some may like Cannonball II better. With this two pack, either way you win!
